The project brings several key services together under one roof with the intention of offering men a path from crisis to stability, project officials say. There will be 160 emergency shelter beds with transitional housing for those working toward independence as well as long-term recovery housing. The building will also include a dining hall, training center and administrative offices at a total project cost of $22 million. It replaces a 70-year-old shelter that had reached capacity and will extend the number of men who can be served in the region. Architect is Dake Wells Architecture Inc.
